Check with your ISP, on their website there should be a network settings page, which might list the ipV6 settings, or advise they don't use the service. I get the same response, and my ISP doesn't support it, as the carrier doesn't

I have ipv6 through the ISP. Turns out its Adguard stuffing things up.

Well done for working out the issue. As I said my ISP doesn't support it, here in Australia, but as there are know security issues, and not enough knowledge of the protocol with network administrators, I'm happy to stick with ipv4 and VPN.

Consider switching to Launtel. Haven't looked back.

You made me curious what would come up for me. The IPv4, IPv6 and ISP records are not my actuals, since I have iCloud Private Relay running. I'm actually surprised that my IPv6 address is hidden. Well done Apple.

If your ISP doesn't support IPv6 (and my ISP - Verizon FIOS in Boston - doesn't) you can set up a free Hurricane Electric tunnel broker account to get a 6to4 tunnel connection with a static v6 network assigned to you. Many routers now support configuring the 6to4 tunnel endpoint on them. I can confirm that pfSense Community Edition firewall definitely does, and my old Apple Airport router did as well.
